Ferrando rallies ATK Mohun Bagan for knockout stage challenge

Kolkata: Juan Ferrando has urged ATK Mohun Bagan to be at their best for the AFC Cup™ 2022 Inter-Zone Semi-finals after the Indian Super League side advanced to the knockout stage in emphatic fashion on Tuesday.

Ferrando's charges were in spectacular form before their fans at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan Stadium, scoring a 5-2 win over Maziya Sports & Recreation of the Maldives.

The victory completed an amazing comeback for ATK Mohun Bagan, who were defeated 4-2 by fellow Indian side Gokulam Kerala FC before bouncing back with a 4-0 win over Bangladesh champions Bashundhara Kings.

Bruzon, Annese hail players despite exit disappointment

Kolkata: Bashundhara Kings head coach Oscar Bruzon and his Gokulam Kerala counterpart Vincenzo Alberto Annese both paid tribute to their players as their AFC Cup™ 2022 campaigns came to an end on Tuesday.

Bangladesh champions Bashundhara edged India's Gokulam Kerala 2-1 in their final Group D tie but missed out on a place in the Inter-Zone Semi-finals following ATK Mohun Bagan's 5-2 win against Maziya Sports & Recreation.

The result meant the Indian Super League side won the group by virtue-of their superior head-to-head record.
